Michael's Story
Born in Kansas City at St Lukes. Attended Flint Elementary, then Shawnee Grade in Shawnee, KS. Moved to Overland Park in 1966, and started Milburn Junior High. Would have gone to Shawnee Mission North, but the parents decided to move to Pompano Beach Florida the summer of 1969. Thats why I list myself there because of the many people I knew. I hated my parents for that move. But life goes on.
Dropped out of Pompano in January of 1972 my senior year , because I was soooo smart.
Soon after in July, I enlisted in the Army. Yes, got my GED, and later a BS from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Went to Army Flight School to become a Warrant Officer helicopter pilot Taught UH-60 BlackHawks from 1982 to 1986, when I transitioned to fixed wing aircraft, OV1-D, RC-12D’s, Spent time In Ft. Campbell KY, Ft. Rucker AL, Wiesbaden Germany, Participated in Desert Shield and Desert Sto...Expand for more
rm performing aerial reconnaissance, and retired from the Army in Savannah GA in 1998.
From 1998 until late 2000, I was a simulator instructor at FlightSafety International in the Gulfstream V at Savannah.
Started a new job in Indianapolis as a corporate pilot for mall company in 2001, currently functioning as a Captain on the Gulfstream 650ER, and Gulfstream 550, and have been here ever since. Providing safe, efficient world wide transport to ownership and guests.
If you've gone this far, you need to do 2 things.
One, make sure you check out the "photo albums" section for my listed schools and military assingments (you may see your self in a year book).
Two, send a note to say "hello". It would be a kick to hear from you and how you are doing.
All the Best,
Mike Benson
